With a time of 12:05 for 1.5 miles, John finished in first place out of the approximate 25 runners who competed.
The Cross Country team practices Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays and has meets at 6:00 pm at Cardinal Newman every Wednesday in September and October. There will also be two Saturday meets on October 3 in Stuart and October 10 at The Pine School in Hobe Sound.
The team is coached by teachers Katherine Murphy and CC Loynd. Last school year, Miss Murphy started a running club to begin gaining interest in cross country and track. This year, the club has turned into an official interscholastic sport with a Cross Country team in the fall and a Track and Field team in the spring. Additional students will run in the meet next week.
